Other than a slow climb on a 290/0.70m profile, the -200 performs just fine.

Its been the better part of 15 months since I flew one, but my experiences were nowhere near as bad as that. My technique was to maintain 290kts until I could no longer maintain 1000fpm climb. I would then VS 1000fpm until airspeed dropped near 250, then try to maintain 500fpm at or above 250kts. If I could not maintain that, I would level off and accelerate.

Climbing like that (admittedly a non-standard profile), I never had a problem getting into the mid-30s, even after a summertime MTOW departure...and it would normally accelerate to 0.74m or more after 10-15 minutes of level cruise.

I do much the same. Lately I have been seeing 1Kfpm through FL300, and 700-500fpm to the mid 30's. Lately FL330-350 has been the norm. In the summer its more like FL280-310.

If you are trying to climb at 320 indicated all the way up it won't climb above FL180 but 290/.70 indicated works well and is on profile from most I have talked too. The -200 is by no means a performer, especially compared to the 700/900, but it does do the job (cold helps of course).

Ill tell ya what....I can pretty much bet none of our dispatchers would have caught that

If I were your Dispatcher that would not be the case....the last thing I need with my full plate is a flaps fail in to LGA and no CFUEL to get you to JFK or SWF....

If it's not climbing at least 300 FPM at any given altitude, you are too heavy at that altitude. Reference FAR Part 25.
